Why does php insert backslash while replacing double quotes

How can you remove the backslashes from a JSON.stringify() after it is sent with AJAX?

The JSON before I send it does not have the backslashes, and afterwards it does. Are the backslashes always added by PHP when it encounters double quotes in a string?

Post-ajax output of JSON.stringify():

[
   {
      \"firstname\":\"John\",
      \"lastname\":\"Doe\"
   },
   {
       \"firstname\":\"Jane\",
       \"lastname\":\"Smith\"
   }
]

Try php stripslashes function to remove them
